[L*A*G*]

I have just got an idea of making soap but never watched it be done accept for woosy youtube.

so what i am saying is I don't know NOTHING about it. I am just asking for tips here because i have seen a lot of threads about it but i can not find them.

a few Q's are
do I have to use lye?
is there any herbs or things to add (for smell) that will ruin it?
what do I use for a mould?

all tips recipes and more will be GREATLY appreciated.
